Should I track/drift/lap thread *for noobs?* - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey Zilvia,
I was initially gonna just make a thread asking my personal questions but I think it'd be helpful for noobs to have a place to ask some advice on whether or not to track,etc.

End of the season is coming up, October is the last month for us in Ontario (Canada) and I'm thinking of signing up for the last drift day at my local track with the local club.

What I have:
S14 with: Stock KA24DE (intake lol)[questionable mileage, burns oil, tranny grinds] clutch is in decent condition, lowered on 11 yr old Teins (rear shocks done), stock suspension arms not sure how much negative camber I'm running but it's noticeable?, Z32 brakes all around with working e-brake (Hawk HP+ & EBC GD slotted dimpled rotors).
The other thing is, whoever owned this car at one point (I'm the 8th owner) hacked in a sunroof O_O and took out the reinforcement bar on the roof that is between the b-pillars.

I don't want to do anymore hooning around on streets or at least stay away from it and hit the track. But should I even try to hit the track to drift with such a pos? =P (picked up the car for summer job, I've owned it since May this year)

Thanks guys, go easy on the noob !
